property overview

The iconic Schweizerhof Bern emerged from its top-to-bottom facelift looking sleek, and with its authenticity intact.

The Swiss capital is home again to the legendary Hotel Schweizerhof Bern. The completely renovated hotel in the center of the city is a fusion of an impressive legacy with contemporary flair, noble design and exclusive service. With its 150-year history, the Schweizerhof is the hotel with the richest heritage in Bern. Celebrities like Peter Ustinov, Grace Kelly and Albert Schweitzer stayed here. Following its refurbishment, it radiates an aura of great tradition and grand style. That symbiosis is also reflected in the generously sized rooms and suites – all with the very latest technological conveniences – where a mixture of French charm and English understatement awaits. The restored, classic chandeliers bathe the rooms in a harmonious atmosphere, while the bathrooms are urban and up-to-date.
